Fundamentalists in the Public Square: Evolution, Alcohol, and Culture Wars After the Scopes Trial - Madison Trammel

Descriere Fundamentalists in the Public Square: Evolution, Alcohol, and Culture Wars After the Scopes Trial - Madison Trammel

A myth-busting work on fundamentalists and culture \nThe Scopes Trial of 1925 is often regarded as a turning point in the history of American fundamentalism and evangelicalism. It is claimed that Scopes was a public relations defeat that sent fundamentalism into retreat from mainstream culture. \n \nIn Fundamentalists in the Public Square: Evolution, Alcohol, and the Culture Wars after the Scopes Trial, Madison Trammel argues that such a characterization is misguided. Using documentary evidence from newspapers in the 1920s and 1930s, Trammel shows that fundamentalists remained fully active in seeking to transform the culture for Christ, and they remained so through the rise of Billy Graham's ministry. \n \nGrounded in historical evidence, Fundamentalists in the Public Square offers a fresh take on the relationship between fundamentalism, evangelicalism, and the public square. \n \n\n \n2023 Foreword Indies Book Award Finalist for History\n \n \n\n \nA myth-busting work on fundamentalists and culture\n \n \n\n \nThe Scopes Trial of 1925 is often regarded as a turning point in the history of American fundamentalism and evangelicalism.
